TRAINER VERSION: INVINCIBLE

The primary objective of the game is to break a path through the shield, and destroy the Qotile with a blast from the Zorlon Cannon.  The secondary objective is to score as many points as possible.

The shield is the red area in front of the Qotile base.  It appears in one of two shapes, as an arch, or a shifting rectangle.  The shield is made up of cells.  The Yar scout can destroy these cells by firing at them with energy missiles, from any location on the playfield, or by devouring them on direct contact.  (The Zorlon Cannon can also be used to destroy the cells, but this is a waste of a powerful weapon.)
